As the Pilgrims predated the Founding Fathers, so did the consumer
precede the occupier.

Daniel Church interviews the first occupiers : those who camp
out to score 20-30% off and grab BOGO deals on Black Friday. Church gets
up close and personal, asking these loyal American consumers how –
and why - they dedicate their time and effort to securing such
bargains. A topic worthy of exploration. Counterpunch

Don't get set into one form, adapt
it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water...Now you put water in a
cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the
bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can
flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. Bruce
Lee

Human suffering, created by akiller storm, renders political bickering and horse-race elections meaningless, pushing the endless commentaries and political prevarications of shape-shifters and
chronic bullshit artists like Ann
Coulter far off the radar. Exposing their innate meanness and signifying an
impending loss of relevance in light of mass
mobilization and support for Sandy's victims. NY

You're the Prez, and you woke up today
with one hell of a post-debate hangover.

Given your vaunted rhetorical skills,
this was all supposed to be a piece of cake. The swing states were
trending your way. There was John King on the CNN electoral map
placing even maybe North Carolina back in blue. You - well, your
predecessor - kicked serious ass at your convention while your
opponent stumbled and struck obsequious poses, before sticking his
foot in his mouth - repeatedly. Post-mortems abound for the
antiquated, decaying GOP, whose 2012 brand of screw-younomics appear to fall on increasingly on deaf ears.

Presidential debates are for selling the candidate to viewers at
close range, and promising policy changes with which
will make everything all right.

For candidates, it's a high-risk,
low reward affair, with few prospects for altering election
outcomes. The one exception being Nixon's disastrous, televised 1960
sweat-fest - a contrast to the cool and collected JFK.

While
candidates and their handlers fret about blowing it with the red
light on, media execs are grateful for the occasion to satiate
advertisers and chase demographicsWashington
